Russian River IPA
6.5%ABV / 1.065 O.G / 62 BUs
An abundance of hops and malt are added to our IPA to create and preserve its distinctive flavors. Not only do we use generous portions of hops in the kettle, but we also dry hop this ale for one week after fermentation. The dry hopping process adds to this beer's floral and citrus aroma. This is truly a tasty adult beverage! Gold Medal, 2000 World Beer Cup (India Pale Ale Category) Available year round.
Aud Blonde
Blonde Ale, 4.5%ABV
Aud Blonde may be the lightest colored beer we have ever brewed at Russian River Brewing Company, but don't be fooled into thinking that this beer is light in flavor. It has a refined characteristic, which can be contributed to us blending pilsner malt with a unique hop called crystal. The distinctive characteristic of the crystal hop lends a citrus, almost eucalyptus quality in the aroma and mouth feel of the brew, while leaving the beer with a long dry finish. Available year round
OVL Stout
4.0%ABV / 1.048 O.G / 40 BUs
This nitrogenated dry stout is low in alcohol but big in flavor. Its smooth roasted coffee like aromas and flavor are clean and drinkable. Gold Medal, 2004 World Beer Cup (Irish Dry Stout Category) Available year round

Parking Violation
5.6%ABV / 1.054 O.G / 35 BUs
Wouldn't it suck to have a job where nobody likes you? And, regardless of your name, people always call you Rita, as in "Lovely Rita?" Sometimes people just shorten it to the simpler "meter maid." The funny thing about that is the Webster dictionary defines a "meter maid" as "a female member of a police department who is assigned to write tickets for parking violations." You have to wonder how the male "meter maids" feel about that! Parking Violation is an American style pale ale using lots of American hops, lots of quarters, and several trips back and forth to the parking lot. So, remember to drink responsibly and feed your meter. Rotational release
Beer Esteem
5.6% ABV, 1.053 O.G, 40 BUs
"If you can't feel good about your beer... what else is worth feeling good about."
We call Beer Esteem a California Common because it is brewed with a lager yeast and it is fermented at warmer ale temperatures. However, Beer Esteem is distinctly different from other California Commons. With a unique hop profile, a lager yeast not typically used for the style, and a "Russian River" twist, Beer Esteem is anything but "Common." Rotational release.
Huge Large Sound Czech Pils
5.00% ABV / 1.048 O.G / 45 BUs
A west coast Pilsner brewed in honor of one of our favorite bands. Rotational release.
Nobel Experiment
5.50% ABV / 1.054 O.G / 35 BUs
Pale Ale
Hoptime Harvest Ale
Hop Time Harvest Ale: Made with 100% fresh "wet" hops from our hopyard. Seasonal release(October)
Golden Ale
Blonde in color, this mild ale is brewed with a blend of four malts to impart a subtle, malt bouquet. A smaller than normal hop addition is made in the beer to keep the flavor mild and clean. Rotational release.
Old Gubbillygotch
9.5%ABV / 1.096 O.G / 110 BUs (at brew time)
Barleywine is a strong style of ale that has an alcohol content that closer resembles a wine. Our copper-colored barleywine offers big malt flavors that are balanced with a large infusion of hops in the kettle. Although this ale has a high than normal bittering unit rating, the bitterness in the beer balances out extremely well with the residual sweetness from the malt. Seasonal release.
